hearing

Contains illustrations of a baby involved in listening to different sounds, each with a one-word caption.

Freddie Ramos uses his super hearing to help a lost child during a class trip to the Air & Space Museum, but finds it hard not to become "a sneaky snoop.".

It?s often said that music can soothe the soul. Budding young scientists may wonder how the sounds that make up their favorite music work. This exciting title has the answers! It not only explains key ideas involving sound waves including wavelength and frequency, but it also features activities that allow students to experience what they are learning! First students are instructed to think like scientists using the scientific method. Then they must gather the materials needed for each experiment, which mainly consist of household items such as a pencil and pen, a rubber band, a bucket, and a ruler. Helpful illustrations and age-appropriate instructions then guide readers through each step in the experiment and in learning important STEM concepts. A further information section and a glossary also make this title a valuable addition to any aspiring scientist's curriculum!.

"Why does a clarinet play at lower pitches than a flute? What does it mean for sounds to be in or out of tune? How are emotions carried by music? Do other animals perceive sound like we do? How might a musician use math to come up with new ideas? This book offers an . . . exploration of the mathematics, physics, and neuroscience that underlie music in a way that readers without scientific background can follow. David Sulzer, also known in the musical world as Dave Soldier, explains why the perception of music encompasses the physics of sound, the functions of the ear and deep-brain auditory pathways, and the physiology of emotion. He delves into topics such as the math by which musical scales, rhythms, tuning, and harmonies are derived, from the days of Pythagoras to technological manipulation of sound waves. Sulzer ranges from styles from around the world to canonical composers to hip-hop, the history of experimental music, and animal sound by songbirds, cetaceans, bats, and insects. He makes accessible a vast range of material, helping readers discover the universal principles behind the music they find meaningful"--Provided by publisher.

Explores the science behind superhuman hearing, discussing how humans hear, the volume of sound, hearing sensitivity and more.

Text and photographs introduce emergent readers to the sense of hearing.

"Hearing is one of our five senses. Sound helps us identify things around us and helps us learn. Learn how sound travels in waves and we hear different pitches of sound"--Provided by publisher.

Simple text and full-color photography introduce beginning readers to the sense of hearing. Developed by literacy experts for students in kindergarten through third grade.

Simple text and colorful illustrations on board pages show learning young readers how Baby learns about the science of hearing, covering sound waves, amplitude, and how the human ear translates waves and vibrations in the air into the sounds we hear.

Clicks, clacks, bangs, and booms; there are sounds everywhere we go, but what is special about sounds? With the help of this thrilling book, readers will be excited to find out. Vibrant images and engaging language will attract readers of many levels, even those who aren't usually drawn to scientific material.
